Bexley Heath, Kent
« on: Friday 12 April 19 06:20 BST (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters of Kent.  I have a non-conformist record for the burial of John Gale in the Chapel at Bexley Heath, in 1830 (found it on "Find My Past").  Any clues as to which Chapel this could be?  Online records are very detailed for the Church of England parishes, but not so for the Chapels.  I wonder if the Chapel still exists, with the War and redevelopment since that early time.
thank you,  Meredith.

The transcription of the record lists it as a Baptist burial  so this looks likely http://www.gracebaptistchurch-bexleyheath.co.uk/history/

This may be of use in terms of the dates of establishment of chapels https://www.bexley.gov.uk/sites/bexley-cms/files/Ecclesiastical-history-of-Bexley.pdf

Kay99 - your hyperlink for the Grace Chapel included the name of the first Minister - C Collins - which matches the name of the Minister on John Gale's burial register....."Chas Collins".   So a Big Thank You.  Meredith.
